Acapulco Gold, Hydro, By Gwhunran 2023

Acapulco Gold
Day 49 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The area feels different without the overhead fan oscillating towards the observer. It does make it easier to take clear photos. I'm too lazy to shut the fans off and try to time my shots.

The plants are showing no ill effects from the new reservoir change. Will add KoolBloom(0-10-10), tomorrow.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling. I'll probably add one more fresh one this grow.

Looking frosty CL

 

[gwhunran]

Thanks Capn. They are starting to get more frosty. They will have to play catch up to the Fuel D.OG though.

Acapulco Gold
Day 50 since flip.

The grow room is running normally.

I rigged up a makeshift riser for the 20 inch box fan that has to do double duty now. It's stable.

New CO2 bucket today. Last one.

The plants are looking good and the buds are too.

Soon I'll be in double post mode per day. One series pics for overall grow. The other series of pics for individual bud shots and closeups.

They’re stacking up beautiful bro, any chance we can get a couple of pics of what’s going on under there? CL

 

[gwhunran]

Sure, but it'll have to be tomorrow. You can't see very deep into them. The bud under the 2nd screen will be mostly used for rosin making, so I'm hoping for lots. How much, will mostly be a surprise, until after it's harvested.

 

[Danishoes21]

Can’t picture what 20 more days will do to those buds, they are gonna be enormous!!



Looks awesome

 

[gwhunran]

I hope so. They still look pretty early to me. The plant on the right is a bit further along in maturing, IMO, the taller more Sativa looking pheno still looks to have more to show. Not much left to do but watch them build and finish.

Day 51 since flip.

The grow area is running normally. I put this in here everyday to say, no problems with the equipment.

The plants are looking good. The added KoolBloom to the reservoir seems to have agreed with them.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling away strongly.

Do you do anything for better airflow or light penetration? CL Edit: Underneath I mean?

 

[gwhunran]

The fans, plus the AC give me lots of air flow. Without the de-humidifier there would be a problem with the overhead fan going out, but it's okay now.

I ran for a few years without the overhead fan and got bud rot. I mounted the overhead fan and always used the front firing fan. No bud rot since. Now with the better ACs and de-humidifier, I'm not concerned.

Once they start getting sticky, I stop tying to trim underneath and it's quite sticky now.

Day 52 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The plants are still looking healthy and the buds are building as expected for around a 70 something day harvest.

The grow environment is about right. The AC is keeping the temps. steady and the de-humidifier is pulling lots of moisture out of the air.

Wow

 

[gwhunran]

They have been easy so far. I am delighted to have two different phenos, I hope they produce unique smells, taste, and buzz. If I can tell the buds apart and keep them in separate jars.

Hey GW what do you keep your RH at in your tent? I’ve been keeping mine around 50%. CL

Hey Capn, I set the de-humidifier at 40% at the morning check and set it to 50% during the afternoon check. It's more than 12 hours between the afternoon and morning check and it cuts off if the tank gets full. I like to move the de-humidifier around so I don't use a drain hose.
My two sensors are both mounted high in the room. Above the lights so It will be lower down near the de-humidifier as evidenced by the de-humidifier reading lower on it's display.
Either way my humidity is way lower than it used to be.

My set up doesn't use a tent. I've got walls on three sides of the tray. One wall being makeshift, the others solid. So I really don't have much of a lung room. Outside the grow, it's ambient RH. Good and bad.

Acapulco Gold
Day 54 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The reservoir is staying in the sweet spot at the moment with bi-daily top ups of high ph tap water.

The buds are fattening up and triching up nicely.
